For several weeks Israeli air forces have been bombing Gaza and West Bank, the U.S. media ignored it.  Israeli ground forces have conducted several raids into Lebanon, the U.S. media ignored it.

Then Israel say eight Israelis were killed in an attack on a bus, carrying Israeli soldiers and civilians, north of the Red Sea resort of Eilat. They use that attack to justify their current escalation of attacks against Gaza.  They claim it was Hamas who attacked the tour bus.  The U.S. media was all over it.

Here’s the problem, Gaza is nowhere near the resort of Eliat.  Secondly, those who were attacked say the attackers were Egyptian soldiers, not Palestinians.

U.S. media went along with Israeli claims that the attackers were from Gaza.  Again, an Israeli media interview with the driver of the tour bus, said that the attackers definitely came from an Egyptian border post, and were wearing Egyptian army uniforms.

Israel killed dozens of Palestinians in their attacks prior to the August 18th attack on the tour bus, and Israel has killed dozens more since they launched their “retaliatory” attacks on Gaza.  Many of those killed by Israel are women and children.

The latest reports say that Israel has also attacked Egyptian troops, killing three.  The report was made by the Egyptian government.

Of course Palestinians are now responding with their own rocket attacks against Israel.  International journalists in the area say it looks like it could escalate into a full blown war.  Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak is vowing a “full force” attack against Palestinians.

Just last week, I posted that Israeli officials stated they were going to go to war in September, to stop Palestine from becoming a recognized member of the United Nations, and to attack Syria.

When you look at the casualties that Israel has suffered, compared to the casualties Israel has caused, you’ll know who the real terrorist is.  Cry me a river U.S. media, cry me a river Israel!!!
